Mission
The Mission Committee coordinates the mission activities of the congregation as the congregation strives to be faithful to the teachings of Jesus as he said “Feed my sheep, Feed my sheep” and he healed and provided care for those in need.
The Mission Committee coordinates and educates the congregation regarding the four major offerings authorized by the Presbyterian Church USA.
They are: One Great Hour of Sharing
Peace
Joy
Pentecost
